I am on a retirement Visa and left Thailand and came back in yesterday, without doing re -entry stamp before I left, and they said we can give you one month free but you must go to Jomtien immigration office and talk to them about how to get your original one-year visa back into effect. Does anybody know if this is going to be possible?.?

The exchange rate of USD to Baht is now 1$ = 31.63 Baht. This is horrible.

Hi All

I'm finishing up working in Thailand, so my non-imm B visa will be cancelled.

I plan to travel for a few months then come back for retirement.

Wondering if it is easier/better to come back on a tourist visa and do the retirement visa process, or sort it out before travelling?

Also, most of my Thailand funds are in stock and crypto, are those account balances accepted for the 800k, or will I need to take some out and deposit it in a regular bank?

Thanks in advance for responses 🙏

My partners niece is hopefully coming to the UK on a 6 months visitors visa.

Can someone point me in the direction of some travel insurance please?

Good morning, I applied on line a no immigrant ED visa at the embassy in Rome, at least eight days have passed but they are still processing the visa. Do you know how long it takes for approval? Thank you

Hello, everyone, I need some advice or suggestions, please.

My parents are Pakistani Citizens, and I wish to apply for their retirement visa once they reach Thailand.

The issue is that I have been told to apply for a Non-Immigrant O visa and then, once they land in Thailand, convert to a Retirement Visa.

Here is the problem now, when I see the Thai Embassy site here, it says "Retirement (Pensioners aged 50 or above with state pension who wishes to stay in Thailand for no longer than 90 Days)."

However, they do not get state pension. They have their own savings and retired individuals from private sector.

So, is it not possible to do tourist visa and then get an agent to convert to Non O and then retirement visa in Thailand.

Please suggestions would be highly appreciated thank you.

Question about traveling on soft power DTV:

Is there a limit on being able to leave Thailand particularly during your first 6 months on the visa? Because of course you’re supposed to be taking classes but it’s multiple entry?

My child is currently living in Thailand with a Non-O visa. Her passport will expire in May 2026, while her visa will expire on 28 January 2026. We plan to renew the visa around December 2025 or January 2026, but we will renew her passport around October/November 2025 before that. In this case, does the Non-O visa stamp need to be transferred to the new passport, or can we just keep it in the old passport and use both passports when applying for the extension?

Inside new passport, there is observation page that mentioned OLD passport information, does it enough to check old visa records for thai immigration?

I am living in Thailand on a DTV visa. I am getting close to my 180-day mark. What is the most hassle-free method to renew my 180days? Can I just do a border run? Recommendation/ advice welcomed :)
